« on: Sunday 11 August 24 19:43 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone

 have been unable to find her grave ) James Nicholson born about 1846 in Adrigole he died in 1945 and I have even found his grave  (He married Mary Sullivan in Adrigole on 20 July 1871 his address was listed as Cappaleigh again I have all the birth records for their children and found them on the 1901 and 1911 cencus I also have Cencus details for Ellen's family too) their father was James Nicholson I don't know the name of their Mother, I would really appreciate any help as these ancestors ha e been incredibly difficult to find and have been a major brick wall for a very long time
Thanks

I have since had a lead from an ancestry DNA match whose Nicholsons came from Adrigole Cork and I'm Wondering if anyone can help, I have hit a brick wall with Mary Nicholson born about 1859 co cork and her sister Ellen ,all I know is their fathers name was James Nicholson a farmer from Co Cork, he was listed as deceased in 1880 on the marriage cert of Ellen Nickleson  (that's how it was spelt on marriage cert)  of Gratton st and  James Kelleher of wises lane in 1880 I know they had 6 children, Mary Nicholson of leitrum st married  Mchael Hannan a private in the royal artillery in 1882 with only one child I know of a girl born in 1884 called Mary Ellen I can't seem to find anything on their father James or mothers name and have searched relentlessly any help would be greatly appreciated .

Hi Agahdowey
Yes that's right it's the same family I have posted about previously that  I'm still looking for as mentioned in the post I have been looking for this family for a long time, as in previous posts I didn't know where they were from, hoping now that I know they were from Adrigole that I may come across someone who can help,
Thanks for pointing that out though

You've inserted your message in the middle of the quote you did of mine so it was difficult to find at first. There's no need to quote a previous message (sometimes makes it even more confusing if the quoted message also contains a quote. Anyway, there's really no need to keep starting new topics looking for the same family members as you can just add new details or questions to an existing thread. It's also helpful if you post on the correct board to get the best chance of help from members with local knowledge (in this case the CORK board).
